Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"Custom script toolkits"
"It enables us to monitor application processes, to do log-monitoring on a 24/7 basis, to do server-level monitoring - all the hardware parameters - as well as monitor connectivity across applications to the interfaces."
"The clean and colorful UI and easy to use options like snooze and active times."
"The solution is used across the entire investment banking division, covering environments such as electronic trading, algo-trading, fixed income, FX, etc. It monitors that environment and enables a bank to significantly reduce down time. Although hard to measure, since implementation, we have probably seen some increased stability because of it and we have definitely seen teams a lot more aware of their environment. Consequently, we can be more proactive in challenging and improving previously undetected weaknesses."
"One of the most valuable features is that it can be configured by non-developers. It doesn't require development expertise to configure it."
"One of the most valuable features of ITRS Geneos is the active time feature that helps with the trading applications that I support."
"The great advantage of this tool is real-time monitoring."
"It's a very powerful application monitoring tool across the industry. Many free, open-source tools are available. There are also paid tools, but ITRS Geneos is a real-time application monitoring tool where the user can monitor, self-configure, and manage alerts through their console."
"The most valuable feature for us was the ability to monitor sites and get a nice overview of all the data in a single view."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"One area where there is room for improvement is the log file. I would like to be able to do a pre-run on the log files. When you are testing log files for regular expressions, it would be good to be able to do a quick check up front on that side of things before you release that into production."
"I would like ITRS Geneos to develop an app, where instead of going to specific login terminals or logging into laptops or desktops to check alerts, we can have visibility in the app itself."
"It needs to be easier to configure, especially with the JMX plugins."
"Mobile phone integration is probably not as rich as it could be."
"They have the Webslinger solution where you can see when something is alerting. It's a little bit cumbersome."
"Much of the reporting outside of the user interface is very basic and requires much customization to be useful."
"The dashboard feature is full of bugs. Grouping items results in a distorted dashboard."
"At the moment Geneos is excellent and handling real time monitoring, however not great at doing historical reporting."
"One area that could be improved is the reporting features. In the version transformation from ten to eleven, the platform changed from a Windows-based platform to a Linux-based platform. As a result, the previous reporting feature using Crystal Reports was no longer available. Instead, we had to generate PDF dashboard reports, which were not as flexible."
